Thanks for the advice. I've managed to get rid of all of the errors
apart from two. They are:

new-package-should-close-itp-bug
and
manpage-has-bad-whatis-entry usr/share/man/man1/ah.1.gz

I'm not sure if there is a way to fix the first warning, as there is no
itp bug filed (it's referring to the changelog entry saying it's the
first packaged version). I'm not sure why the second error won't go
away, as it seems the manpage needs to have a name and description in
the NAME section, seperated by '-' or '\-'. With either of these, the
error's still there. At the moment, I have:
